| Now, let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogues will follow. |
| Saya [occupation]. |
| I'm [occupation]. |
| Apakah anda is used for formal questioning? |
| And it translates to, are you? |
| Bukan is a negation word to express not or none. |
| It is often used before the noun. |
| Saya is a formal or polite way to say I. |
| Indonesian people tend to address perawat or nurse as zuster. |
| This term comes from a Dutch word for Catholic nuns, zuster. |
| As Indonesian hospitals in the past were generally church run, |
| and a lot of nuns worked in the hospitals. |
